Developing the Hawking's experiment

Alright. It is true, that messages engraved in stones has survived for thousands of ears. It is the only proven method for sending information in the very far future. I may engrave messages on some stones in my spare time. It is easy and cheap. Stones on the ground are for free. Some people are even paying for stones to be removed from their gardens. Now it only remains the problem how to write so much information - the times, dates and places for the time travelers to come.

 
Today also no time travelers... I started to think already, that my experiment also will be with negative result.[DOUBLEPOST=1412857455][/DOUBLEPOST]Wait a moment!!! I wrote from 10.10!!!! My experiment actually starts from tomorrow :) !!! hahahaha

 
seictcho;

Remember, this is a type of "thought premise" since we can not now, nor likely even in the future, travel back in time but we can imagine how it might work if we could. This is how I see it working.

A time traveler from the future goes back "in time" but HE still exists as "a future entity". Thus, his actions are being done as his future self even though he is acting "in" the past. Therefore, the actions can not appear, in his present, until he "actually" does the traveling "in the future" to the past, and since he was not "actually existing" in the past, his actions will not alter the time line since they only exist in "his" future of "his" present, after he returns.

Wow, even I got dizzy reading that. :confused: Does it help any? :)

 
The first real day in my experiment no one came.

What, what, what?

 
To paraphrase Robert Frost: Time stands still for no man.

Time keeps moving forward... even for a time traveler to the past.

I tried to draw this out for you but I can't get it to format here so try to draw it out from this on a straight line.

A= noon on travel day... (mark on future side of line for travel back to B about 2/3 along line)

B= 1pm on arrival day (mark for arrival in past about 1/3 along line) { it takes an hour to TT back in time ;) }

Ca= 7pm action completed in past ( mark at 7pm in past)

Cb= 7pm real time in future...TT'er's present (mark at 7pm in future)

D= Return to future 8pm (mark at 8pm in past)

E= return before 7pm (mark before 7pm on future line) ...TT'ers present action is not apparent as it hasn't happened yet.

F= return after 7pm ( mark after 7pm but before 8pm)... action is apparent but TT'er is "still" in his past.

G= return 9pm ...action is apparent... TT'er is in his present. (mark at 9pm on future line){ an hour to get "back to the future"} [hey, that would make a great title for a movie... or 2... maybe even 3] :cool:

Hope it can make more sense for you. :)
